Puts forth a beautiful flush in late winter in Los Angeles when most of the roses have really slowed down and then... it and Mon Cheri are the first to bloom in early spring. Heavy bloomer, BIG flowers, KILLER scent-all the time.
It does like heat, but the summer blooms are small. The blooms are larger in the fall but the plant is very prone to powdery mildew. I still grow 3 bushes of it because i love the flower so much however. Needs winter protection in colder zones.
